USER GUIDE TB-9007 963E Benchtop Air Ionizer Installation, Operation and Maintenance The SCS 963E Benchtop Air Ionizer is available in two models: Item Description 963E Benchtop Air Ionizer, North America 963E-EURO Benchtop Air Ionizer, Europe SCS offers the following accessory for the Benchtop Air Ionizer: Item Description 963E-X Power Adapter, 110-240VAC Input, 24VDC Output, No Power Cord Installation The Benchtop Air Ionizer mounts easily in a variety of positions using the provided tilting bracket/stand. Place the unit on the work surface and point it at the area or object to be neutralized. Alternatively, the mounting Figure 1. SCS 963E Benchtop Air Ionizer bracket may be attached directly to or above the workstation, or on another supporting structure. Note Description that placement of the Ionizer is important in determining its effectiveness. The distance from the target object, The SCS 963E Benchtop Air Ionizer is a self-contained and fan speed affect the ionizers performance. As ionizing air blower designed to remove static charges distance increases or fan speed is reduced, the from non-conductive objects. The proprietary circuitry discharge time will increase. contained in the blower generates balanced levels of positive and negative ions. The Ionizer is equipped Connect the switching power supply to the Ionizer using with a two speed fan which allows the user to select the Mini DIN connector. Then, using the appropriate the amount of ionized air to be delivered to the target electrical power cord, connect the switching power object. The Benchtop Air Ionizer meets the required supply to an electrical outlet. limits of ANSI/ESD S20.20 tested per ANSI/ESD STM3.1 or ESD TR53. Operation The three position rocker switch on the front of the Performance unit is the POWER switch. The center switch position The Benchtop Air Ionizer reduces a static charge (marked O) is the OFF position. The upper and lower of 1000V to 100V in less than two seconds (the switch positions (marked II and I) turn the unit on to discharge time) at a distance of one foot (30 cm) using HIGH and LOW fan speeds. Use this switch to turn the the high fan speed. Testing is performed in accordance unit on and to select the desired fan speed. A green with the ionization standard ANSI/ESD STM3.1. monitor light is also illuminated respectively on the front of the unit, which indicates that the power switch is in Power Requirements one of the ON positions, and that the ionizer is now in use. The Benchtop Air Ionizer requires 24VDC power, which is supplied through a Mini DIN connector on the back of the unit. The Ionizer is packaged with a switching power supply, capable of converting 100V240VAC, 50/60 Hz into 24VDC. The switching power supply uses a 6 ft. (1.8 m) cord to connect to the ionizer, and has an IEC 320 input socket for incoming power. It comes with a North American-style three-prong plug or Continental Europe (EURO) plug. Two versions are available depending on the power cord plug (European or North American). The Ionizer should only be used with the included power supply.
